were looking after the interests of their
town from railroad standpoint They
seemed anxious to get terms for taking the
Rock Island to their town, but nothing wa,

Mr.. Low was seen at the Manhattan last
night, and stated that he favored a union
depot scheme in this city. He thought the
idea a good one, aud would rebound to the il :

the beam strongly for the latter, and as the
company had something to say in the matter
they would take their choice He further
stated that the indications were that their
depot would go north OF Douglas.
A real estate agent who is recognized as
representing in his line OF business some of
the railroad companies whenever they have
any work of that sort to be done, stated YES

AN OPERA HOUSE scHEME.

Yesterday gentleman of few words but
with big purse, in reponse to a question,
said: Eyes, l know something and can give
you the full particulars in a general way
with the permission TO tell or print certain
part. The thing has been working for some
days, or rather weeks, but has been kept
quiet up to the present for fear publicity
would chill the egg. You know a big enter
prise located at a certain point generally
raises the property there, and certain points
are suited to certain industries People have
a good idea of what is what, and when a
thing Is booked for location the fellows hold

The city up opened up scheme to them
which seemed quite plausible on first sight,
and even more SO ever since. He proposed
to them that they put up a building having
front of one hundred feet and one hundred
and forty deep, and three stories high. The
lower floor TO be divided into rooms suited
TO wEolesaling or retailing, and the second
and third story TO be thrown together tor an
opera hall. He would furnish the capital
for the latter and they for the former. Z ans
were discussed for the building, and the gen
tleman gave a description of che hall as be
would have it arranged Il was thong hit
that a building o. that kind would meet the
demands and would cost between $4,000
and S20O,000'
The site of the building was discussed,

contemplation, but again stated that Thu

for time. The ground has been purchased.

think they should be the ones that shouli
gain some of the benefits from an increase il
